The Prince and Claudio did, but the devil, my master, knew that it
was Margaret. They believed the charade partially because of my
master’s testimony—which first caused them to
doubt Hero—and partially because of how dark and
deceiving the night was, but mostly because of my villainous
actions, which confirmed Don John’s slander. Claudio went
away enraged, swearing that he’d meet Hero at the temple
as planned and there, before the entire congregation, shame her with
what he’d discovered and send her home without a
husband.
